Babies with food on their face: not cute 🤢 But to the parents of the kid it often is adorable. This is a tweet about design systems.

A Pattern Language has a lovely metaphor for design of poetry and prose. Generative AI is putting together many cromulent web experiences. Polished, balanced, refined. But is this compression — this shorthand of clues, hints, and suggestions — something only humans will be able to do? 🤷 https://danmh.xyz/feed/poetry-and-prose-ai/

Spicy take: lots of 'async' I've seen promoted isn't async. Record a loom, drop a message, wait 6+ hours for a reply. Is this just slow sync? 🌶️🌶️🌶

After over 4.5 years I've taken a voluntary redundancy and completed my last day at GitLab. Being at GitLab was the best job I have ever had, and where I've done some of the best work. I wrote some of my reflections, it changed how I think about work, forever. danmh.xyz/gitlab/ https://danmh.xyz/gitlab/

I find myself choosing to use software that is more beautiful or fun but less capable over 'better' alternatives more and more often

So lush to hear @donnie.damato.design and @bencallahan.com be so vulnerable on wireframe.ds.house tonight. Very generous people who serve the design systems space so well (in very different flavours 😅) https://wireframe.ds.house

Designer toxic trait: Spending more time picking OTF character variant combinations than the words themselves

Spent some time last week trying to get AI assistants to do stuff for me as a design system designer in Figma. The results were mixed, but did lead to some actionable suggestions for what to do about it https://youtu.be/5aNg3M7hnGY?si=DArkcauskyiJ6rz0

Beautiful storytelling. Lots of bonus parallels to successful design system maintainer <> consumer relationships. Proud to be a generalist. https://nearzero.software/p/warranty-void-if-regenerated

Never gets old seeing a designer make their first code change, it update in the browser before their own eyes, and them instantly realise that their practice will never be the same again 🥰

2025 complete. Worked on great things with quality people. I end the year convinced — more than ever — that the best future is one where those who design and build work closer together. And using shared languages, tools, and incentives. danmh.xyz/wrapped-2025/

Design is $this. Design is $that. Blah blah blah

Such a pertinent talk. I think this is one that will be referenced and built on for years to come. Can’t wait to get stuck into the content again [contains quote post or other embedded content]
